Wyvern school celebrates 50 years

IT was a musical feast which brought them flocking to the grounds of Fair Oak's Wyvern Technology College on a fine summer evening.

The concert with a picnic in the park was the latest celebration to mark Wyvern's 50th anniversary.

The music included classical, brass, soul, jazz and samba.

While the music played the picnic hampers and the odd bottle of wine came out to help soak up the atmosphere. A spokesman said: "It was a fantastic evening."

There was also a special stall where former pupils could pick up their final report cards. The evening was topped off with a spectacular firework display.

Proceeds will go to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.

I attended the concert with my family. We had a great time. Everyone involved with the concert should be congratulated. It was a great way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary but also a great send off for Miss Campbell. Wyvern is an important part of the community and it was a great way to bring everyone together in celebration. I am sure there will be a huge demand for it to become a regular event!

As an original member of the move to Fair Oak (the then Year 10), Wyvern gave me a tremendous start in life and guided me towards a very successful career in teaching after originally wanting to be a fireman or carpenter. Thirty-five years on and in my final years as a teacher, thank you Wyvern, congratulations on your birthday.... where was my invite?
